Yes, you can.

But it won't necessarily sound as good as an amp designed for guitar. Bass amps typically have speakers & circuitry that are specifically designed to reproduce the lower frequencies (sounds) of bass guitar range. Also, if you want any kind of gain, or overdrive, I've seen very few bass amp capable of that tone.

I once had a Fender Bassman 80watt head that sounded great for clean guitar. Some guitarists do use bass amps for certain sounds.

But, in the long run you should look at getting an amp designed for guitar!

Hope this helps. Have fun!
